Frost Yourself! 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days' Sequel Is Officially in Development

Get your yellow silk dresses and love ferns ready. Rom-com royalty is officially making a long-awaited comeback. A brand-new sequel to the legendary 2003 romantic comedy *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days* is currently in active development at Paramount Pictures, according to an exclusive report published by *Variety*. While specific story details remain closely guarded under wraps, original leading lady Kate Hudson is officially attached to the upcoming project. Instead of just starring, the Hollywood icon will step behind the camera this time around to serve as a producer, helping guide the modern revival of the beloved turn-of-the-millennium classic.

Right now, moviegoers will have to play the waiting game regarding who actually steps in front of the camera. The sequel is strictly in its early development phase. Essential creative roles—including the lead actors, screenwriter, and director—have not been finalized or announced yet, according to industry sources. That leaves a massive, burning question mark over whether Hudson will step back into the high heels of magazine writer Andie Anderson. It also remains unconfirmed if her original co-star Matthew McConaughey will revisit his fan-favorite role as smooth-talking advertising executive Benjamin Barry. However, Hudson’s active producer credit gives longtime devotees plenty of reason to hope for on-screen cameos or a full-blown reunion.

BUZZBEAT

Because the feature is still early in the studio pipeline, Paramount has not yet slated an official filming schedule or theatrical release date. The original 2003 picture was a massive box-office smash, pulling in over $177 million globally and firmly establishing both Hudson and McConaughey as the undisputed king and queen of 2000s rom-coms. In the two decades since its debut, the film has sustained a massive pop-culture footprint, constantly going viral across TikTok and inspiring Halloween costumes every autumn. Whether this new installment serves as a direct follow-up to Andie and Ben’s chaos-filled romance or introduces a fresh generation to the high-stakes dating game, nostalgic film buffs are already celebrating. Stay tuned, because the game of love is officially back on.
